Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

April 23. 1685. Ipse quoque adjuvi publica vota meis . Ovid. Trist . WHEN first the Model of this World was laid , Darkness upon the Face o' th' Earth was spread . The Elements no decent Order knew ; And all things through the dusky Chaos flew . Till the bright Sun leapt forth with open Day , And drove this Universal Shade away , Making a Glorious PARTNER of his Light Reflect his Beams too on the gloomy Night : So , when this LAND , almost in Troubles drown'd , Unquiet as the Sea that girts it round , Had lost its Light , the Best of Kings and Men , ( Who lest this World , but to be Crown'd agen ; And found that Mercy he so ost had giv'n : Too good for us , and now as fit for Heav'n . ) It sees a glorious SUN rise on this Day , And with full Majesty his Beams display , To drive this gen'ral Land Eclipse-away . A PRINCE , belov'd in Peace , and fear'd in War ; The Joy of Men and Heav'ns peculiar Care. For none so many Tempests ever past , T' arrive in such a quiet Calm at last , And take Possession of th' Imperial Throne , Which both his Birth and Merit makes his own . Who for those Subjects which he governs now , So ost expos'd his Life and Interest too . So ost brought Laurels to adorn that Crown , From the Red Field , which is become his own . All Europe , that his Conduct then did fear , Doth tremble now to see him in this Sphere . In which he shines so full , that he appears More Bright and Glorious than the Crown he wears ; For all the Virtues , er'e adorn'd the Throne Of English Monarchs , meet in Him alone . As Brave and Valiant as those Sons of War , The Iron-side , Black Prince , and Edwards were . Wise as that King , whose NAME he now doth grace ; And Pious as his Martyr'd FATHER was . Mild and forgiving , as his injur'd BROTHER ; And wears the Native Sweetness of his MOTHER . Those blest Supporters of the Royal Race , Whose sacred Dust lies in this hallow'd Place , And set where He now rises ; wish to be ( T' attend this Day ) cloath'd with Mortality , That they might see a SON their Loyns brought forth , Inherit both their Royal Crown and Worth , And hear the gen'ral Joys Three Kingdoms give , With votive Prayers to Heav'n , He long may live . Next this , their wish wou'd be to see ' him in part A Crown to her , from whom he took a Heart . The Best and Brightest of the Beauteous Train ; Whose Face and Mind are both without a Stain . And so well knows t' oblige , as she alone Had found the way to make all Hearts her own . Her Air so charming , so divine her Meen , Nature took care to frame her for a Queen ; And what the bold Italian Muse in Thought Exprest but of her Race , in her she wrought . Could soaring Plato like his Fame survive His own Rich Dust , and be this Day alive , He might enjoy his Wish ; who long'd to see Goodness and Truth cloath'd in Humanity . If Flesh and Blood , Virtue her self might wear , And in the Liv'ry of Mankind appear , She wou'd in Person only come like Her. If that can ne're be Copy'd to its worth , Who shall the Beauty of her Mind set forth ? Like Him , that undertook to Picture Grief ; Finding it past his Skill to reach the Life : Drew a Vail o're the Face , with leave to guess , It was not in his power to express ; We undescrib'd must leave the greatest Part , Which to express , so far excels our Art ; And in a Cloud leave that Rich Scene of Bliss , To joyn and give the Nations gen'ral Wish . Blest Royal Pair , that you may Happy prove , Within your Thrones , as you are in your Love ; That Heav'n , if there be a Joy yet New , Unprov'd in Empire , may deriv't on You ; And grant your Royal Bed a Son may live , The most important Blessing Heav'n can give ; That Loyal Senates may assist your Hands , And make you Happy , as you make these Lands . And when you shall be summon'd hence by Fate , ( Too soon for us , but may it still be late : ) That you on Earth may wear these Temporal Crowns So well , to gain in Heav'n Eternal Ones . By F. B. Gent. LONDON , Printed for B. Took , at the Ship in S. Paul's Church-yard .
